what it got instead was the incompetence of george w. bush who acted as though he were disinterested in a natural disaster in which there was no enemy to be found. bush's slow responses to the great deluge made americans ask if he was a bunker commander in chief. and many people would argue that he never recovered from that. would you agree? >> i agree and i was in new orleans when katrina hit. and i was flabbergasted. i mean he went on from crawford, texas to san diego and gave a speech about the navy and about the war in iraq being much like japan. refused to get off script and michael chernoff, head of homeland security for atlanta. meanwhile, 80% of new orleans was underwater and it was -- it was a lesson. 1965 when hurricane betsy hit lbj went to the stricken area. he even went in a boat with a flashlight shining in his own face and saying i care. so when you watch president obama tomorrow go to new jersey and look at some of the devastation, it is very important because the president is telling all of us he's our representative. th
